Drawing at Galatasaray after twice holding a two-goal lead highlighted the flaws that remain in Erik ten Hag’s side
Manchester United are used to breaking records in the Champions League but the current crop will be concerned they have conceded more goals than any United team in group stage history, showing how far they are from competing at the top level.
Kerem Akturkoglu’s vicious equaliser for Galatasaray on Wednesday was the 14th goal to pass André Onana in five European matches, leaving United bottom of the four-team table and in danger of an early exit. It was the only time in Istanbul when the goalkeeper could not be blamed for letting the ball past him, a worry in itself.
